I hope you included a chapter comparing/contrasting the liberal top down vs the conservative bottom up policy.
Those who are ignorant of history are bound to repeat it. Ray Moley, FDR brain trust member wrote of the New Deal:
“the rejection of the traditional Wilson-Brandeis philosophy
that if America could once more become a nation of small
proprietors, of corner grocers and smithies under spreading chestnut
trees, we should have solved the problems of American life. We agreed
that the heart of our difficulty was the anarchy of concentrated economic
po”ver which, like a cannon loose on a frigate’s deck, tore from
one side to another, crushing those in its path. But we felt that the
remedy for this was not to substitute muskets for cannon or to throw
the cannon overboard. We believed that any attempt to atomize big
business must destroy America’s greatest contribution to a higher
standard of living for the body of its citizenry-the development of
mass production. We agreed that equality of opportunity must be preserved.
But we recognized that competition, as such, was not inherently
virtuous; that competition (when it was embodied in an employer who
survived only by sweating his labor, for example) created as many
abuses as it prevented. So we turned from the nostalgic philosophy of
the “trust busters” toward the solution first broached in modern times
by Charles Richard Van Hise’s Concentration and Control.”
Seriously, read our book. The whole book is that contrast.
